Brookers Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 Does anyone have, or know of any 90/110's running a full external cage with a full tilt? Pics would be good, Brookers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cil111 Posted June 4, 2009 Share Posted June 4, 2009 yes here in Malta we have a number.... they had a hard top previously but reverted to a soft top for weight issues in competitions.. what they do is put holes in the tilt where the flanges are screwed together... have no pics at the moment but if I find some i will post them up for you.... I have also seen the same setup on half internal and half external cages... soft top is fitted then cage bolts on the flages as before but instead of a hard top, there is a soft top... holes are done in the bolt holes in the soft top...so essentially the soft top would have to be always used with a cage...

My Hybred used to have a full tilt and half external, same as above. Marc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Orange Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 If you are fitting a full external cage, there should be no need to alter the soft-top at all. The only difficulties come when you have a full external cage with an internal hoop/bracing as well... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm looking for a cage that provides protection if a customer gets too close to the trees rather than competition spec. Brookers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brookers Posted June 5, 2009 Author Share Posted June 5, 2009 Sibbo, that does look good! Now am I mad considering building something like this and fitting a set of dual controlls and offering this as an alternative to my Clio for learners? Not sure how much of a market there is for driving lessons in a LR but I think it could make a great marketing tool, Thoughts please.....

Mark90 Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 Mark90 had one on ALF a while back.Should be photos around somewhere...... Yep I did. It wasn't a full external cage though. It was external section that bolted through canvas to plates welded on to two ex-mil roll hoops mounted each end of the tub..... Worked well for tree protection.
